4:02 am
that varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction terms of how easy it is for the police force to say this is an unlawful assembly or it is a lawful assembly but let's look at montreal for example and across get back in any major city back where if you were fifty people or more in a in a peaceful protest in a nonviolent protest that could be depended on unlawful assembly if you have enough presented your itinerary and the directions of according to your protest routes to the police force of the municipality and come back before the protest is started and that's what's causing a lot of controversy because people are saying you know it's my inherent right to go out and express our opinions meal to go to the streets and take to the streets in a peaceful manner when i was covering as a reporter the major i guess you protests are happening in downtown montreal because of the students protests that are happening there basically what i saw from microsoft is that i was even attacked for basically just filming police for doing my job for being able to report on a story what what's happening here and i mean some extent people said to me well

4:04 am
information relating to the economic crisis the exposure relate to the real crisis in greece and in other countries too which is tax avoidance and the export of capital the taking of money out of the country which is what's happened in the greek economy the government is in absolute crisis in greece the economy is tottering the most terrible social deprivation it's a terrible time for greek people and they're being very badly treated not just by a degree of by the whole european financial disparagement they need to know the truth but don't see how they can get away with prosecuting these people it's actually going to be a very interesting test of freedom in greece. coming up later this hour while forking out a to go green look at how building strive for a nuclear shutdown and the accompanying shift towards renewable energy is delivering a painful blow to families but. barack obama and mitt romney are throwing everything they've got into a last ditch effort to woo voters in the undecided states in the closing days of

the pre-election jule promises of change and economic recovery are taking center stage in what's ironically the most expensive presidential race in u.s. history but to talk about any cuts to the mess of defense spending is absent from the front lines of the campaign with both candidates expected to keep the mike to military machine rolling as marina but now i reports. our military spending has gone up every single year that i've been in office we spend more on our military than the next ten countries combined china russia france united kingdom you name it america has a responsibility and the privilege of helping defend freedom we've got to strengthen our military long term i will not cut our military budget in a post nine eleven america the pentagon's budget has grown more than forty percent averaging half a trillion dollars per year critics say a new party or presidents in the white house won't change the policies firmly

cemented in washington yalla he said both of these men are very much continuations of the military industrial complex is domination of our political system in our democracy so when they keep talking about how they're going to supply jobs increasingly that's where the jobs come from. both foreign interventions and also this giant so-called homeland security department price of defending the homeland critics say continues to come at a grave cost to civil liberties this war on terror you know what led to what we discussed before the n.b.a. now you have military mice coolies you know cracking down on protesters now you have this massive empire and in order to sustain there you need to have peacekeepers. to make sure that the war machine reaches are earlier this year the former cia director applauded president obama for closely following the
4:07 am
controversial policies of his predecessors and despite a campaign that was based upon a very powerful promise of transparency president obama and again in my view quite correctly has used the state secrets argument in a variety of courts. as much as president bush more than six and a half thousand u.s. soldiers have been killed fighting america's post nine eleven wars and nearly fifty thousand have been wounded in action a reported quarter million americans who have fought in iraq or afghanistan have been diagnosed with mental health injuries from combat service even as america's wars wind down the suicide rate among troops has surged to a thirty year high according to the pentagon this year's total may reach as many as one suicide per day it's not just what happens in war what the deaths and the injuries or what happens afterwards you know you have these they're basically bearers coming home you know to two broken communities and families with.

moms and dads in terms of society is that something the wants you know do we want as a society where we have important members of our communities you know coming coming in the moment with. and that's the reality of war in the two thousand and twelve fiscal year payers funded a u.s. defense budget of five hundred forty four billion dollars it's estimated that some could provide two million military veterans with free medical care for thirty five years talking about national defense has been almost sacrosanct you know sort of like the thanks department one something. to question that is to question. something that is unquestionable and that has meant that the largest per the u.s. government spending has been beyond analysis beyond public scrutiny in four
4:09 am
days americans will elect a leader for the next four years regardless of who wins the legacy of war cemented under the past two u.s. presidents indicate that the world's largest defense budget will continue. looming this causing many to ask if hundreds of billions of dollars are being spent to increase security or even road stability forty three are going up for nigh on r.t. . and while obama and romney pledged to pull the us out of the deep ditch of debt some observers say ups over spending on defense is the main reason the economy ended up going down under in the first place there's no more important issue in america today than i have which we are spending on our military our military industrial complex that's where most of us tax dollars go i mean our total is more than the top fifteen other nations in the world and so as most americans know that
4:10 am
this is wasteful spending here it creates a few jobs but there's so many more jobs that would be created if that spending that governmental spending was done on a whole bunch of other things like publicly utilities like a whole other range of areas so it's really destroying our economy in a lot of ways besides creating a lot of and this is sort of violence around the world you know what happened to a lot of other societies that these military industrial complex takes over nobody stops it and before you know it you know your whole country is like an overwhelming debt. as a presidential frontrunner as a shy away from slashing the defense budget the alternative names on the ballot have taken the opposite approach but a third party candidates are given no chance to deliver their message in the mainstream media so r.t. is helping break that blockade you can watch the final round of live debates between the green party joel stein and the libertarian gary johnson on monday.

a nearby crime honest mistake because swords are often tubular and use this walking sticks more and more we hear stories like this like the handcuffed youth who was shot in the back to death or the unarmed guy in a wheelchair who got blown away by the boys in blue i understand that being in the police is rough everyone lies to you and any given day you could be shot dead so i get it when after a long police chase someone just snaps and in all honesty fire when the police might do the same thing but it takes a certain kind of person who enjoys abusing their uniform to make the helpless suffer you can't tolerate sadists or those with napoleon complexes in the police and you know what they aren't that hard to spot in the shower because if you like to tase the elderly or shoot wheelchair bound people then you probably don't have much of a certain something but that's just my opinion. me

syria has to find another way and so a shake up of the opposition with new quote unquote leaders emerging this is the u.s. strategy we have syrian opposition the manufactured opposition i should say has been riddled with al qaeda and other forms of extremist many of them imported from the imperialist war against libya directly into syria the reality is they're arming the opposition they're arming the extremists because they want chaos in syria that is the only way to get military intervention and to move forward with the imperialist project we have to remember that the end of the us adventure in syria ending in defeat i should say would be the end of us hegemony in the middle east if there are only able to continue their march from syria that means their attempt to destroy iran is unlikely to hold back that means that they're stranglehold over the persian gulf and the oil resources is weakening so they're putting all their cards on the table and sort of putting all their chips. in the but when it comes to syria. on
